A high quality , high protien puppy food is a good idea , but first I would make sure you covered the bases Jaxon outlined as well> Eagle Pack makes a great high protien kibble > It's meant for highly active dogs . And the extra protien will put on the weight.

No problems , Other than scaring the h__l out of me the first time he tried to cough one up . And our vet says that dogs can indeed get hairballs . We add a tablespoon of mineral oil in his food and it seems to help .

May I suggest your friendfind another vet to start with. And get a second opinion on this. Alot of vefs include holistic care in thier treatments. Something as serious as this would make me get another opinion and I really like my vet.

YES !!! Eli has sailed through obedience training . he will be starting advanced obedience next month . he responds well to both verbal and hand signals , on and off leash . Our trainer wants to possibly work with us on tracking as well . Mals are very bright and can learn anything . The biggest challenge is to keep them from getting bored. I keep it a " game " with Eli .

Just have your mom and dad keep an eye on your elbows and hips. They are gonna take more wear and tear with your larger size. x-rays every couple of yearsmight be a good idea. I'm more of an " standard " size " at 85 pounds. Either way , Mals are awesome!
